    Many kind thanks to my Friends for their thoughtful and charitable characters and pithy things to say..

    amarynth, many thanks…we’ll give that a try. Pretty sure there’s a thingy in the hand, ’cause it moved at bit, again yesterday…

    The image, misc en scene, of the Benway office must be a muddled memory, but it’s the style of the thing. Plasticity and all…

    The graphene thing – am delighted Brother! Very happy you enjoyed that! And diamonds…yes I so expect and so “Dr Boffin” said. However I recall that in the early 1980’s I read in some scientific magazine that GE (I think it was GE) had developed a practical method of growing diamonds on an industrial scale, and the size of these gems seemed to be scalable…there followed some negotiations with the chosen fellas that have/had the monopoly, following that GE agreed to stop and limit the project to small industrial diamonds. I believe that most industrial diamonds are synthetic. The GE process and the arc-tube process are not, as I recall, the same. Perhaps the kitty has left the bag. For myself, I wonder what the effect of graphene in materials may have on fatigue life.  A castable epoxy … 10 times stronger … all sorts of ideas… And yes, of course, the Asian boffins are right there. They are very fine chemists, superb. The US does not seem especially liable to develop much, at least for a time…too chaotic and descending. FWIW I passed up a nice laboratory vacuum oven, for free, a few months ago, Sergent Welsh vacuum pump, refer and heater… Not that I’d use it much. I do use a vacuum pump once in a while in shop work, but very seldom. It was astonishing to me that a vac oven in good shape had no market – which tells us about the state of education hereabout. Why didn’t the high-school grab it, why didn’t some bright kid?

    Vacuum pumps have kitchen application too, as in sealing in glass so as to prevent insects and molds, and also in plastic bags. Flour seals nicely in the paper bag from the store – inside a plastic bag.

    A question I saw someplace> Should we fear AI? Well, fear might get in the way of dealing with AI, so no, but… But another question interests me, should we fear AS?

    AS? Yes, artificial stupidity. Which, we might say, is being created to create helplessness. This, then, creates an opportunity for AI. Stupidificate the children and AI has an easy pathway to rule, and the “elite”, held in thrall by their conceits, will promote it at their own peril.

    Somewhat tongue in cheek…

    Garden calls…sunshine and calm. The bees are very active, all the fruit trees blossomed. And the slumbering projects, including finishing my 1.4kw of solar, all call out…

    Best! P

    Brother,many thanks! The links especially, as I had only a vague notion of those meetings…of the positioning of special machinery…well, when they’re coming to kill you and you know it…well, one at least takes out the gun and loads it. Longtimeago in a small Mother-Load town, a fella “kilt hiz brother-in-law wot come up from Oakland to kill him”. Shot him on sight with a .30 cal hunting rifle, then called the sheriff. This was taken to be self-defense… I suppose it’s Natural Law. Been that way longtime.

    The Naked Lunch url I put up only opens about 3 minutes of scene that does not include offensive matters or images. Just a “croaker’s” office circa 1950 or so…with “Burroughs” and “Benway” playing a part. It’s the scene, the staged set, that is similar to my grandfather’s office…no medicare coding, no staff…later, in his mid 80’s he was head of surgery at a major hospital in southern cal…and dropped off from a galloping cancer – 6 weeks from knife/bone saw to grave. Pancreatic C.He wrote poetry, hunted birds, taught Mother to read holding her in his lap, reading aloud and pointing at the words. She was perhaps 3. A Quaker, when she was old enough, he bought her a .22 and taught her to shoot properly. When there are guns everywhere, the best safety is knowing how to interact with guns and armed people politely, and safely.

    1963? I’d say 1945, well, 1944 at the Convention when FDR was forced to take Truman, and precisely how did Groves know “the bomb is for Russia” in 1944? A “slow coup”…but the Dallas thing was called “a correction”…I saw the video…McCain or Bushie 41…maybe both…in their circles, like Huey Long, it seems to have been the way they spoke of Dallas at elite parties, as “the correction”. I note that US supplies of tetraethyl lead, lubrication oils, and fuels and GKW went through Spain to the Reich all through the war. In a way, it reminds me of the 404, developed, finances, supplied, to be a weapon against Russia… The implication includes the idea that from well before Smedly blew the whistle about the coup plot against FDR, probably going back to the Civil War, a cadre of real nasty fellas has grasped for control. As soon as they got enough power, they nailed it down…Dallas being a feature, as was the Nixon coup, but the bigbig prize was the demolitions, the murders, the utter departure from even constitutional forms.

    I generally agree, I think, with Mrs P, that a motivation for the European and US witch trials was that “witches” (wise woman, she tells me) witches = midwife = core of nonmale power over sexual and some social relations.), I note that in some situations the men get very nervous when the women close themselves up together to talk, or whatever – and this in particular> Aristophanes and the ladies…It works fine in most societies that follow stable established custom, the Hopi men down down in the Kiva… A similar custom…talk matters over to consensus, so I was taught, 100% agreement.

    Medical men, well educated or frauds, would naturally want the midwife to be gone, and many husbands might well share this desire for power over women.

    Supervising an excavation job, one of the equipment operators spoke crudely to the reality he perceived when he remarked that “They’re sitting on a million dollars”. Good dozer operator though.

    Mother, a 3 generation suffragette, said it more decently, “Women have babies” – and allowed the stark implications to sink in… Like why would a woman want equality with men? If Stumpy runs a bar in the hereafter I shall set out to revisit this topic with her… I wonder if RT runs on the Heavenly Sports Bar big screen…no Bud Lite, I imagine, at Stumpy”s…

    The “old religion”, I have read, was the core of the state, and a woman was the master of this, and with each year the Matriarchy selected a king…who exercised power for 1 year – naturally not every male is happy to retire at one year…this being the old sun cycle stuff…and I have no idea about the traces that do not lead eventually to Abraham and the trees of that. Retirement was often of the permanent nature.

    To-day I saw a claim (Locals.Duran newsfeed) that Sputnik5 has effects in terms of “died suddenly”… more or less like the SZ stuff. If true there’ll be hell to pay in several respects.

    The surgeon in the offing is in his prime years. Specializes in hands and wrists, does hip replacements too. And he’s the only one. Been at it 31 years and has nice imaging machinery. It’ll be fine. We can manage the costs too. Though we manage to be “poor” in terms of money (we both regard unnecessary money as a sin).

    …………

    In another line of thought, at Saker, near the end, a Quaker lady named Susan checked in… I hope she shows up here. A sweet soul is hers, I think.

    Now I must return to garden and shop. @ Anoxia 27 C today… forge iron hot.

    Recalling the graphene aspect of the whateverjabbies, well, we knew it occurs in nature and in coal and oil burns…but the stuff has physical properties in materials engineering, which makes graphene synthesis in a continuous process a “valuable” matter of interest…

    Bashing about with this discovered the doctorprofessorboffin – a long way from Don Herbert and “Mr Wizard” … and a lecture lab session where they have a great diy lab and cool machinery… a very interesting hour.  https://youtu.be/3hHoL77QDkg

    and the base site> https://www.techingredients.com/videos

    Cut to end > home-made graphene @ 0.6% in epoxy raises bending modulus force by 10.  If y’all have an hour…

    Blessing on the western Easter!

    The suggestions are very welcome! Now we shall proceed to study.  Mrs P remarked that in her experience MD’s tend to get upset when a patient describes symptoms using the correct medical terminology… (Mrs P actually got her degrees!) It seems obvious that if one is to seek and agree to consent to matters so pregnant as surgery, it is inescapable that one must study the relevant matters – as otherwise consent is not informed. I believe, but would have to do some checking, that US laws forbid medicine for profit in some general way prior to about the beginning of the rapid descent into vice – about 1970 this changed and medicine here became by degrees a racket. As Smedley B (a Quaker fella) put it> “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.” (Not everybody reading knows this about the profit stuff) In “Naked Lunch” there’s a scene where Burroughs visits “Dr Benway”…and in fact the setting reminds me of Grandfather’s office! Times change…Mother ran his office, alone, when she was 14, and in college already. He carried, inter alia, a .38 on house-calls) The Benway scene mooted as an example of misc en scene >https://youtu.be/dEPPfTOAgSs

    The R-word… ” It’s a nebulous term.” Indeed so. Lacks semantic rigor. Has big emotional aspect. What interests me is understanding the mechanism(s) and definitions of the set (I think >1) of “machines”  that exist within the nebulous term. I think “imprinting” is also a nebulous term, and that it probably is a big tent and related to the R thing.It seems to include, as you  say (” But I do think most humans on every continent are ignorant, xenophobic and love to hate those who’re different, lol.”) . I wonder why this is so. Considering the R-thing(s) as a nascent or incipient aptitude  being exploited for the purposes of a racket, turning some ordinary defect or fault into a weapon – a “political machine” that rules by creating antipathy and divisions, a “political machine” that creates a fraudulent “consent” for murder, theft, suicide, or cruelty. If the enemy has a cannon, or a canon, it is good to know all about it. I am fairly confident that the R-thing is an enemy cannon and canon. Along such lines also we may examine the globalhomowhatever agenda..as a curated, sponsored, sort of “political-sexual-racism” between the confused endocrine (?) victims and the sane.  Speaking of endocrine>

    Just now reading about the chemistry of a particular molecule “atrazine” > 6-Chloro-N2-ethyl-N4-(propan-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine  (UPAC)

    It percolates into the O A E + series of horizons and so forth, eg well waters. Chemical-biological decay in these soil regions is very slow. The ppm climbs every year at depth, a leachate concentration… “Drink your milk son… cows drink a lotta water…new solar power to the stock tank well-pump…why do you want to be a cat, today, last week you wanted to be a girl?”

    The wiki is interesting. and interesting rhetoric. As always, I asked “what’s not said?”

    On the intuitive level, atrazine looks like a starting molecule to synthesize nitrated bootleg explosives…ring with 3 nitrogen and some NH bits and a Cl – just a hunch – but if it’s correct somebody else can fool around, and I hope they don’t. As they say “fool (phuck) around and find out”.  Changes in libido and in the limbic area… It would be amusing if my hunch is right – they’ll have to restrict or change the stuff… Highly risible. If…  (say fellas, y’all down at the copshop…why not see if the FBI crime lab can do it?)

    Speaking of chemistry, “loperamide” 4-[4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]-N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylbutanamide looks like a starter for somekinnadope of the opioid class. For me, chemistry is a spectacle, not a doing thing.  Now Dave Collum…he actually knows the stuff! I watch. His stuff on the “novo-whatever-choke” was a riot. He put it on the exam…

    The R-thing(s) whatever pre-existed, as did the arts of manipulating crowds. And the boy-boy or the saphic things, but with the GKW chemistry blowing in wind and water and in the foods…and the money for profit… A freight train to suicide. We may say…poisons everywhere spew…a vast salting of the species. Briefly…

    The derisive old saw> “Plumbers” brought a smile.

    Real MD calls plumber. Get’s $10,000 bill. Complains about cost. “That’s a lotta money!”

    Plumber say “I used to think that when I was a doctor”. This works well with any profession…lawyers especially.

    US “politics” is something I too take little notice of. I more or less know how this turns out, ( I outta get a Chinese flag for the surrender), but the show can be entertaining to the cynical and heretical Quaker eye and ear. The only US political matter worth taking a serious interest in is the cop pointing a phuckingun at a fella. (Many times! And every time a cop error or cop crime, not once was I in the wrong). In the world and not so much anymore of it. We stay home a lot..to-day is gardening, warm!

    Oh! Brother! That’s a lotta reply! Wonderful. Bless you!

    The specific example that interests me is a fella that received polyester resin’d glass shards (fiberglass) violently insinuated  into the dorsal aspect of his hand – an industrial mechanical explosion of a minor nature. He (3 hours) experienced a violent (12 hour)  fever – which I assume was sepsis – and recovered (24 hours) without any assistance.  Several 2-3 cm shards expressed naturally and without problems several months later. 24 years passed. The hand now throbs and hurts and the mild pain extend down the radial aspect of the wrist. Dorsal arterial engorgement differs from the left. Well, I expect there’s a chuck of fiberglass in or under the radial artery of the right hand, just between the base of the thumb and the base of first digit of the fella… Anyway, surgery of the hand looks like a tricky business, and both the fella and I would like to read up on this…..so to say. The fella is going to find a surgeon…

    As you know, in bike crashes wrist compression and carpal whatever are more or less ordinary. The left one is troublesome, sometimes…but my days with a jackhammer seem to be over… Jackhammers are wonderfully fun! I miss it.

    I know a dachshund bitch that just had a mast cell sarcoma excised from the dorsal front paw…. She’s too smart. And I think it’ll spread. Still, she is happy, and won’t know, when it comes. She’s 6, so not so bad. A related interest is the surgical veterinary texts in re the excision of mast cell sarcomas in canine extremities. They go a long way … nasty.

    The poly-arthritis is quiet. I expect it’s a product of neanderthal genes at war with the rest, maybe that’s delusional, but MD’s have told me that they can diagnose on sight by the shape of the nose that a fella has seasonal allergies, so to say immune reaction tendencies. At least in anglosaxons. Anyway, so long as I don’t overdo it I’m fine. Thanks!

    Some time ago, at Saker, I believe , I wrote in passing of Konrad Lorenz, the Austrian… He got a Nobel for discovering what every Chinese peasant girl has known for a  longlongtime…I wonder about the man…he was in the war, and of a wealthy family, I wonder about what he thought, his character in fact. Withal, his “imprinting in Geese” was a hot topic in the family when published. And this, with long (in personal human terms) observation, inclines me to speculate in a so-far rather incoherent way about some sort of nascent characteristic, a genetic and epigenetic process or quality, that disposes individuals and groups to prejudice based on the tells of “other”. That, of course can be a trivial difference such as pronouncing the Jews’ “shibboleth”, or more, like appearance. Wolves and canine critters and the entire critter realm express such – in a variety of ways. Naturally this character would vary between people and place and time, since everyone in a practical sense is different. Ergo some groups tend to “racism” more than other groups.  Generally, it works and who are we to to fiddle with it? (to-day I found a realistic toy dog, a small example, a “plush” toy. A dollar! An impromptu field experiment with the bitch – whose eyesight is very good, and whose reaction to mirrors is “oh, that’s me, no problem”. The toy dog reaction was anxiety and curiosity, and some fixation. She showed a slight aggression, very slight. Now, we all know that a real alien dog would have turned the scene to bloody aggression, the “race” of dachshunds being as they are…bred to chase badgers down into their dens and burrows.

    The rubric “racism”, however, seems to name in reality “political racism”,  and seems like a manipulative and exploitative racket. But does this form extend to other aspects?

    Moving along in the theme of imprinting…the globalhoneagenda2030 and so on…it seems that sexual “frame” can be and is being “imprinted” in youth, deliberately, in designed and fairly effective curriculum. In the Steinbeck-mythic Cannery Row (and I remember when it was cannery row, and smelled that way too!), an uncle would take the kid down to Sally’s Place and get the boy started in the right direction… Imprinting.

    This is sketchy – part caressing memory like Skinner’s conditioning, part epigenetics, part hard-wire…a non knowable biological calculus.

    Maybe I’ll write an essay to the drawer just to see if I can dispel the fog.

    ………………..

    BTW, I agree that everything is fouled. Primo Levy’s stories include his opinion about indestructible molecules – God hates them. So I recall.

    Funny, a surgeon cleaning out a ripped-open knee, happily telling everyone that dilution is the solution, and so it is, in surgery and germs. But the opposite is the case in the larger context, where “dilution” =  pizzing on your neighbor.

    Time for vespers… Movie night…

    Thanks, blessing and G’night. Kiss the babies…

    Brother AHH, Thanks for your reply!

    I have read credible statements that mRNA whatevers have long been “approved” for veterinarian use, at least in conus, probably Canada too.  I think this is true, not sure though. (Anoxia has expensive local clean meats, and we don’t worry, much…) And I can fish or hunt game, and can raise a goat or steer to butcher. We used to keep pygmy goats for milk and meat…

    I agree about the internal turmoil and that it works as you have said. It’s a sad thing for me to see vindicated my views (and Mother’s!) that the devolution into a nazi regime and “lawfare” would occur. Over beers, I would say things about Mother, and Father… but more or less you know. Anyway, the old choice to leave law school seems well-taken. I am very sorry about that. This turmoil and factional corruption, it seems to my Newtonian-eyed notions about energy-coupling and flows, like an impedance mismatch. That’s to say most of the energy reflects back into to “transmitter”. Because of structural decay (vice, mostly) the process proceeds to failure, imho.  In radio, sewers, or bulldozers, when things back up into themselves, they krapout. Recalling “The Moon is Down” novella (Steinbeck/OSS/WW2) about shorting a dynamo and self-destruction…that’s impedance mismatch.

    The Kennedy affair seems to fit right into that…young bobby fubared a whole buncha plans… He’s now in a position to speak to certain matters of crime and worse. I wonder if his evident fearlessness manifests because he’s willing to sacrifice himself. Brave fella. Some say Bob’s got hizzself a date with fate, and “nordstream”… Great entertainment, et un spectacle bizarre! We have been present, more or less, and watch’d the pirate empire rise, devour itself, and go nuts. Anoxia remains peaceful, but with drug overdose deaths every day…

    ………………

    On another note, I would very much like to read up on surgery of the hand, interested in especially surgeries specific to the radial artery and palmar arch, and of course the involved neural aspects. Text/Recommendations?

    Brother AHH may be mildly interested in the matter of fluoride and secrets…and the odd case of the dog in the night, so to say…

    https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2023/April/PDF/report-linking-fluoride-to-brain-harm-pdf.pdf   This cites a report> “NTP Monograph on the
    State of the Science Concerning Fluoride
    Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and
    Cognitive Health Effects:
    A Systematic Review”   This report> https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/about_ntp/bsc/2023/fluoride/documents_provided_bsc_wg_031523.pdf

    The Report is lengthy…

    Interesting where the fluoride is not and also where it is. I am curious as to motivations.

    One can get a reverse osmosis set-up…maybe 300 sambuckies.

    …………………………….

    New term usage> a verb > nordstream  Meaning >murder of a major political figure…  To nordstream is within the larger scope of “terrorism”. At MOA people speak of this idea and term.

    Some jottings>

    Biden Blab Threats or Tells…or lies eventually tell the truth, if you want.

     

    The plan B for the Trumpster, assuming that the lawfair routine doesn’t work…

     

    (They say Yusupov shot Rasputin. They also say Yusupove, as I recall, tended to blab or blurt out whatever thought came to mind…)

     

    Speaking of revealing language…

     

    “We will bring an end to it [Nordstream].” https://youtu.be/OS4O8rGRLf8

     

    Now then, another blab…

     

     

    “Demonstrate that he will not take power…”

     

    Plan B might run like Dallas…or the routine at the Ambassador Hotel…whereas the man who did not do it is still in the slammer…a crude job at both places. 13 slugs from a revolver that held 8…and may well have fired blanks… The railroading continues.  His lawyer is not available for explanation of why he presented no defense…none, for an obviously innocent young man. Gee whiz… But American morals have descended in a gradual way, step by step.

     

    I myself have no political interest beyond local elections, and not much of that…

     

    Cada presidente de la gran República Bananera desde la segunda guerra mundial ha descendido a una corrupción cada vez mayor. Naturalmente, el vicio y la estupidez funcionan como uno sol.       (pardon my poor Spanish)

     

    For Americans of my generation, who know not the term “meme”, the banana republic term is of course a cliché … Andy Rooney of CBS said “banana repulic” upon the occasion of the Bushie #43 election by the Supreme Court, which has no constitutional position in the matter of presidential elections…where the venue in law is the House and Senate and the College, not any other court. Andy’s presentation has gone poof! I saw it.

     

    The O’biden racketeer family presents us with a vast and shining example.

     

    Esthetically perfect…minds me of Robert Graves’ “I Claudius” (1934 and BBC drama more recently) “Let all the poisons that dwell in the mud, hatch out!” They are.

     

    The History and Character and the Rhetoric suggest that Plan B is already an option, and it’s public. O’biden blabbed it… (and that good man the Hunterfella blabbed about the vice)

    But to-day new stuff! The son of the inconvenient fella, who, like Moses, talks with a similar voice, eh? Well, they say he’s filed for 2024.

    Brave fella, just like his pop.

    I’ll try to write some more cohesive next time!

    An interesting Change. note> California no longer prints the fish and game regulations. They publish in pdf… This method, then requires the individual buy an expensive “smart phone” and an “apt” and so forth, moreover, the cost having been moved to the individual, there is no longer any incentive to minimize word-count or advertising inserts or color pictures. The freshwater regulations, which may change at any time (!) run to 110 pages.

    The one-off printing cost runs over 50 sambuckies. What progress!

     

    I assume this racket is the thin edge of the wedge…

    Greetings to my Brother Mr AHH! Greetings to my Brothers and Sisters and Friends! Some awkwardness on my part in access…a delay, as it were…

    I saw the story about the bigbig cop dope dealer.

    In machinery and construction, life is like the river… everybody goes there…all sorts…the best engineers spend time in the trades… so too the grey sinners and saints, and they overlap… So? A murderer I knew also saved several kids from death…the misadventures of Youth…I’m thinking of Conrad’s “Youth”

    So I have known for many years how the dope racket works. The State gives “deniable” license (and cheerfully stabs these agents in the back)…  The brutal fact is, and has been, the dope racket runs the cops…at least on the “celestial” level.

    I have myself listened as a very major cop, drunk on his yacht, regaled a small audience with his stories of corrupt acts > “theft and conspiracy to steal under color of authority”, mostly, with small stories of brutality and bias…frankly informing us of his true character, in vino veritas and all of that… Saw the Great Man on TV the next day, sober, but hung over…

    He beat his girlfriend, sometimes, she “smiled” at me a bit. And she, a nice young woman, told stories too. And I was afraid… And I did not…

    And some cops rape, even children…so the whores’ stories go…

    One learns from the riverbank stories… A fishing and motor pal has stories about the dope in prisons…where he ran a prisoner crew for years in a US “Joint”…and also my former colleague and comrade “Machine Gun Jim” tells us the same…he was a bank robber, but only when he ran out of cocaine… He’s honest, but dope is dope…see, The Politics Of Heroin in Southeast Asia,  McCoy.

    (Jim is dying from traumatic brain injuries suffered in his attempts to preserve his “virginity”… US prisons are hells….but naturally we are all close to death, eh?)

    A rational reaction to the world we see from Anoxia? Go fishing… This is my bigbig plan, as soon as the weather invites…

    Best! P
